Penalty by SGX for Short-Selling

Any oversold positions by client will be constituted as "Short Selling" and will be subjected to buying-in by SGX. Client will be responsible for any losses and fees incurred from buying-in. 
 
In addition to the current processing fee for buying-in of S$30 per contract, there will be a penalty of 5% of the value of the failed trade subject to a minimum of S$1,000. This penalty will take effect for trades executed from 25 September 2008 onwards. SGX will review the penalty fee from time to time to assess its effectiveness.
